uninsured / underinsured motorist cases

motor vehicle injury lawyer

Gonwa Law routinely represents automobile accident clients where the at-fault driver did not carry automobile liability coverage. This type of case is known as an uninsured, or UM case. Gonwa Law also represents clients where the at-fault party’s limits of coverage are not high enough to account for all the losses our clients have experienced from the accident. This scenario is called an underinsured, or UIM case, which is handled concurrent to your liability case.

These scenarios can shift your case’s dynamic into a “first-party” situation, adding further complexities. Do not be lulled into thinking that your own insurance company will compensate you any more fairly than an at-fault driver’s insurance company. Concerned with their bottom-line profits, insurance companies aim to pay the lowest amount possible whether it’s their own insured or not.

Our job is to level the playing field and maximize your recovery for your personal injury case. If you were struck by an uninsured motorist, all hope of a fair outcome is not lost.
